Description

The local quarry was an active source of clay and ore for us until the fungarians took over some time ago. We were worried about the fungarians encroaching upon the village, but there's something more. Multiple sightings of a creature much larger than our native wildlife have been reported at night. Combined with villager Modhina's disappearance, I fear this is no coincidence. She visited the quarry recently and hasn't returned. We would be in your debt if you searched the tunnels.

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Prairie FeverIsle of Dorn · Level 70-73

    I was supposed to see Kodun earlier, but I'm as petrified as unliving stone. The attack on the village was... paralyzing. <Hreka takes a deep breath and focuses on the shape of another jar.> Could you do me a favor and deliver those jars to Kodun?

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Buried, Not ForgottenIsle of Dorn · Level 70-73

    Several suns ago, my friend Modhina ventured into the quarry cave. She wanted to find rare ore for Hreka, to help her craftsmanship. Modhina was excited, I remember. A rare feeling for earthen. She hasn't returned. The fungarians prevent us from searching the area.
